To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, A. M.

lhe nature of my invention consists in a reversible fire-back and heating or warming furnace, for heating or warming two rooms with one fire, as will be hereinafter more fully set forth.

Fig. 2 is a transverse vertical section of the same.

Having thus fully described my invention,
